I am new born baby, never watch a football game before, and am unfamiliar about customs to do with this sport which I have followed since yesterday.

So when are the…

    Wow, Spargo in, go Charles. From all reports he was flying on the track prior to the achilles setback.

    Sub choice? You'd think most likely Laurie or Chandler based on those bench selections.

    If he doesn’t play this week, he will be hard pressed to get a look in with Pickett and McAdam coming back in the next few weeks.

    I found Sparg’s inclusion a bit mystifying, but this early in the season, I have 100% confidence in our MC.

    I’m pleasantly surprised Dof. I didn’t think he would get named after taking no part in the praccy matches.

    I hope Salem plays in the middle. Bowey the only back replacement so maybe I am wrong. Have to watch their half forward line.

    Woewodin is my tip for sub.

    Assuming they have to announce 5 on the bench tonight with 1 eventual sub, I'd find it hard to believe that Brown or Tholstrupp will be one of those 5 considering the confirmed debut announcements from Monday.

    Who else could be sub? Hunter and Spargo are injured. Adams hasn't been near contention.

    Surely we're not going down the path of Verral or T Mac as a sub after what happened in the semi. 

    Spargo is available. So is BBB but neither have done the work in last month to be even a sub. 
    Woe or Pup Kynan could be Sub or from left field Fullarton but again no fanfare so not happening IMO. 

    smaller ground suits spargo.

    looking forward to seeing his lazer accurate I50 deliveries

    Hard to take a measure of the combined team. Lots of cusp players but we shall see what the morrow brings

    Spargo is currently sitting on 97 MFC games. Would love to see him bring up the at some stage this season.

    Can't wait for tomorrow night! Go Dees!

    I’m was surprised too, but in hindsight we’ve done it many times before.  They clearly rate the competitive match play during training sessions very highly as a way to decide a players readiness to return.

    From what I understand, the sub this season is named from the Interchange selections.

    Chandler me thinks.  Bill's inside work on occasions last week was sublime.

    Not sure about Spargo, Laurie, Bowey, Chandler all in the same line-up - Billings isn’t huge either so it looks a bit short to me. In an ideal world two of those go out for Kossie & McAdam but it’ll do for round 1.

    • NON-MFC: 2026 Opening Round

      Finally the 2026 AFL Premiership Season is upon us. While Melbourne sits out Opening Round, there is still plenty of footy to enjoy with five non-MFC clashes to kick off the new season. It all begins on Thursday night with a blockbuster at the SCG as Sydney hosts Carlton in what should be a strong early test for both sides. On Friday night, Gold Coast gets its chance to open the season in front of a home crowd when the Suns and Christian Petracca take on Geelong at People First Stadium. Saturday features a double-header, starting in the afternoon with Greater Western Sydney and Clayton Oliver meeting the Hawks at Engie Stadium. That is followed on Saturday night by Brisbane Lions hosting the Western Bulldogs at the Gabba, with the Lions embarking on their campaign to win the Threepeat. Opening Round wraps up on Sunday night at the MCG, where St Kilda takes on Collingwood in the only game in town in the first week of the season. There is no shortage of storylines across the round, so discuss all the action from the non-MFC games of Opening Round.

    • PREGAME: St. Kilda

      With just over two weeks until their opening match of the 2026 AFL Premiership season, the Demons are already well on the path to redemption and have the Saints firmly in their sights ahead of their mid-March clash at the MCG. What do you think the team will look like when they run out on to the G?

    • REPORT: Richmond

      Mars is not usually a place known for lighting strikes but on Friday evening it happened twice in the vicinity of the stadium in Ballarat that carries the name and is a half completed building site with limited capacity for spectators.

      The Dees ran another clinic for the second week in a row as they easily accounted for the Tigers in the lightning interrupted shortened match at Mars Stadium in Ballarat.

    • VOTES: Richmond

      Kozzy Pickett was the man of the match last week and has a vote lead over backup ruck Max Heath who didn't play this week and 5 votes over former Saint Jack Steele. Who gets the votes in this weeks shortened match win over the Tigers? Your votes please. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2 & 1.

      It's Game Day and the 2026 AFL Premiership season is almost upon us as the Demons take to the field for their final practice match before the first ball is kicked in anger in 16 days time. What are you expecting to see from the Dees today as they take on the Tigers at Mars Stadium in Ballarat?
